Countdown days until event - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps

I found this app while looking for something that could show me how many days are left until a family member was in town and it works great on my Tilt. Thought others would find it useful as well.
It's called Zimmermann T- Day Counter Plus! Edition
-Countdown is displayed on your Today Screen
-Multiple events can be added at once
-Different icons for each event

TimeRule 1.2 is similar with more options and several simultaneous countdowns. http://www.megasoft2000.com/product.php?division=ppc&product=TimeRule

Awesome, thanks. I'll have to give that a try and see which one I like better. So far the app that I found does what I need it to do for now, but it looks like this other program will give me more options.

The clock on your homescreen is not HTC Home is it? Looks good, somewhat smaller leaving more room voor other apps, care to elaborate?
Nice app btw. Thanks for sharing.

The clock on my Today screen is Phonealarm and I'm using the Favour8 skin. This is my favorite skin so far, but I did have to make some modifications so that it would work in landscape mode (I'm actually using a different skin all together when it switches to landscape).
And I am trying out the TimeRule app that was recommended and it does provide more detailed information for when the event will take place. So far I like it.

How can i hack/modify the HTC home plugin?

I've already found how to change the order of tabs (and which tabs), by changing a registry key.
Does anyone know/remember how i can change the music tab from linking to WMP instead of the (horrible) audiomanager ?
Tips very much appreciated...
Tell more about that registry keys...
Maybe you can try this :

And let us know if it is working fine
Thanks my friend, it's fine...
Thanks....this works great !
Got amazing results for myself, very happy. Thanks for the work.
Here is what I got:
Removed the 5th tab, didn't use it
Changed the clock to something much more modern
Weather now works ok for me. had a problem before, probably because of the Hebrew Add On.
Icons by Schaps
Nice ...
However, is it possible to reduce the height of the clock?
Because in my opinion, it is TOO BIG ! ... I prefer to add more space for the appointments, tasks, etc ...
Also, is it possible to DUPLICATE the program shortcut tab ?

I agree with the first request. I also do not think the clock should be so big. Don't know if there is an answer, I think it is part of the design.

Third! on the size of the clock
When you only have a couple of inches of screen real estate its ridiculous to have a clock you can read from 3 miles!
yeah, the clock is WAY too big.

I was thinking the same about the clock. I think they overdid it, especially while in landscape mode. Blocks the whole screen
I'd love to get rid of the clock. I like LVM better. Also is there a way to unpin the plugin?

Spb Pocket Plus

Hello everyone,
I have a rookie question...
I just bought SPB Pocket Plus, mainly because the people from the the thread where you show your today screen had magnificent screens and said that they got there from pocket plus, and was wondering how you get the skins/themes/ whatever they are called. I liked the iPhone looking one i tried 'googleing' it and nothing close to what I was looking for. Thanks in advance for any help!
look around
It's opinion on what's the best theme. Just make sure you're catching the difference between programs and themes. HTC Home is popular but isn't really a theme. In SPB shell there is a quick way to switch theme colors, and then just pick a Today screen. I would look around a but for posts on today screens to get a feel for what you like.

Hi:
There are no Pocket Plus themes per se. You can change the icons to your liking, so they go well with any theme you choose.
You can find icons for Pocket Plus here:
http://www.spbclub.com/forum/viewto...tart=585&sid=1f6b7201264cbff68b5a4f341b2cee91
The Today theme is different than Pocket Plus. Pocket Plus is just one aspect of it.
For example, I will post my Today screen below. At the top the 5 icons are SPB Pocket Plus, right below that is HTC Home (that includes the clock, indicators, and five icons right below it. Below that the voicemail indicator, and bluetooth toggle are SPB Phone Suites. In addition, there is a separate Today theme (which includes background, and the color of your text (as you can see, my theme is all black , but you can also choose backgrounds with wallpaper etc.)
Anyway, I hope this helps

Lol, very easy explanation. I like the look of HTC Home, but the small clock is visible in all programs. So, if I am online, or whatever I still know what time it is.
It's so funny, I have shown my Today screen to tons of people, and you are the first to question this. I think others just assumed there was a purpose for it
Yeah, I thought of that right as i posted. lol

*NEW* PocketCM QVGA Diamond Theme (Best Yet) Now 0.25 Ready - Post #47 (Ver 1.2)

All,
This is my first attempt as modding a theme.. I think I did a good job..
I took the PDVista PocketCM theme with PD's permission and modded the graphics. I also got help from DvTonder to correct the mail icon issue with the newer version of PocketCM.
This will work with PocketCM .21 - .23
This looks just like the HTC Diamond, background, pop up icons on the bottom, etc..
If someone wants to do the graphics over, be my guest.. I would love to play more but don’t have the time.. I spend like a week and change to get things where they are now..
Graphics that need to be done over:
Dial pad needs to be done in gloss black
Dial pad "pressed" buttons need to be done over in gloss black
Menu "pressed" buttons need to be done over with the fancy black diamond theme icon (I included it in the zip).
The icons on the main contact menu need to be done over in gloss black.
This theme has a Greatbal Diamond Look.
Eazy
great work thanks you
guess nobody was really interested..
Wooooooooooooo!
theme now switched!!!!!!!!!!!!!!this gets better and better!

What do you mean, lol. Hush your mouth, lol. Many are interested. Your theme inspired me to use pocketcm all over again, lol. Thanks and look forward to more of your work.
Edit: I noticed your theme is a large one, almost a 1mb. Which I imagine the larger the file (theme) the slower it starts up. Nice theme though.
It looks sweet. The only thing that I don't like about it is that I can't see the phone numbers on the contact screen without scrolling down to it.
A little bit too dark for my taste, as I was using a diamond theme but with white background, but since this one doesn't have the bugs my previous one had I'm changing now, thank you and good work
Wow! Just downloaded pocketcm and your theme rocks! I'm a noob.... anyway to incorporate the text messaging from pocketcm into the standard texting from spb shell using one of the themes people have posted... (such as diamond theme?)
this looks good
will try it once i reinstall pocketcm --- testing icontact right now - and i dont like it
o nooooooooooooooooooooo!
skin turns aqua blue in letter spaces between contacts.and the menu to close and pick options never fully rises. now i'm sickbest skin for this app i seen yet.
What can I say.... EXCELLENT.
Hello,
I just installed it on htc Touch and the color of the font is BLACK for all contacts. So, I can not see any. The color needs to be set to WHITE. Thanks.
looks nice, thanks man, working on my prophet

I use it on my Mogul and it seems to be fine. It's not so bad on startup and I found that it only uses up about 2 mbs of memory.

Honestly, i got tired of reading the whole text message and could not figure out how to disable the auto show phone number with contacts option and make it come up when you select it in the options. so i just made it black, i can change it and upload two diff copies for you guys. If someone can look at the code and tell me what the option is to give the control back to the options "show contacts with phone number" i will change it.

hi,
one problem i have and not sure if other has the same. In the option i check on "contact without phone" but it still show phone number. I would like to only show just the name.
I have AT&T Tilt
Thanks
problem with menu that comes up from holding down the far right button. doesnt come up all the way. anyone else have this problem? i would also prefer highlighting that menu in a different color than hot pink. excellent job overall.
Can you change the font for the phone numbers to be white instead of black? Then it would be perfect

Change crappy TouchFlo 'blocks' bacground

Hey guys, lots of great packages here but the one thing I really want to change/get rid off is those crappy blocks which are used in the touch flow background.
You know the ones, the crappy ones which fade into the horizon that look like something from Tron
They look terrible and it seems you can only replace the home area with a background image.
Do any of the packages here allow you to change this?

guess the only way to do that is to change the theme using touch flo 3d config
anyone have a solution for this. as much as i like the blocks i want to change me to the same wall paper as my home page.
Please, i want to change that ugly wallpaper too... Touch flow 3d config "themes change" don't work for that.
I agree. Since ive changed to the Official HTC WWE 1.93 rom with .5 radio (better signal now, thanks for that!) I cannot change the background at all. In SETTINGS and TODAY the background image has been selected by clicking on BROWSE yet nothing is displayed.

You CAN change the Wallpaper on the homescreen by SLIDING to the SETTINGS Tab on the TF3D.
There is an option Wallpaper. This will change the Wallpaper on the HOMESCREEN only (unfortunately) and not on the other tabs
The BACK GROUND with in the Settings and Today menu doesn't apply to the wallpaper.
All the best.

I find it hard to believe no one has made an app to make the wallpaper apply to all tabs....why did HTC make it like this? Weird....
Im suprised as well. Changing the home page is nice, but i would like the rest of my tabs to look ince too.
still nothing?
can this really be that complex?

Just because you have no clue about how to do this doesn't meant it's a good idea to insult peoples intelligence by implying its simple and they should have done it already. The reason it's not been done yet is not because theres no want, but because devs must first understand fully how Manilla operates, it's not exactly documented in a nice fancy API.

▐▄▀▄▀▌2 NEW Themes for Testing / 2 Possible Added: 3/26

▐▄▀▄▀▌2 NEW Themes for Testing / 2 Possible Added: 3/26
WELCOME
as i have stated in my ELse theme thread i have been working on some cool new themes for Throttle Launcher...
they dont all work great and they are very simple so far...
so no major mind blowing features...
i do plan on refining them to get them to work nicely for everyone though..
ONLY WVGA AND WQVGA for both
i am also working on a neat idea i had for straping my TD2 to my wrist with a strap... and using it as a glorified Wristwatch..!!!
so i am custom making a WVGA theme for this purpose... its really only practical for the TD2 as it is so thin ...
other phones way to bulky !!!!
i will upload some pics soon... but in the meantime here are the themes for you guys to get all worked up about and to beg me for the next two months to finish
is called Freedom Fone... for now...
cool features.. slide down on the screen to activate the lockscreen
and the awesome CLOCK!!!
_____________-
thats its for now... enjoy​
TWO MORE THEMES IN THE WORKS!!!!!!
ZUNE PHONE
look how similar the TD2 and the ZUNE HD look!!!!
PSP PHONE... maybe if im creative enough!!!
no zip's yet.... be patient....
if you want these just post a message which one you prefer to have done!!!​
reservado tambien...

Liking the Lacuna theme... patiently awaiting tweaks.
I would like kinetic scrolling in the mesages section (like in friends section) if possible.
Huge potental in this theme. I am looking forward to future releases.
hey trekfan, very very nice... i actually dont really miss ELSE anymore with these ones in the mix
u r such a creative genius!
at this stage: im liking the lacuna theme, but this may change over the course of the next couple of days/weeks
ok some initial thoughts/feedback:
freedom fone:
clock:loving it! if you could select program to open that would be good!
date: the digits for the date dont look that great... would be good if i can i open calendar if i click on the date
phone: not implemented yet? at this stage it goes to start menu (im sure you know)
messages: would be good to be able to select sms program to use
calendar: the appointment subject and the location of the appointments seem to overlap. if we could select the program to open when we click on an item that would be great
menu: any chance to have an option where you can select favorite programs, possibly override windows start menu??
lockscreen: HOT!
other:
-how about next alarm info?
-how about adding a tab for email? or being able to choose what tabs u show on the home screen?
lacuna:
clock: next alarm info beneath clock maybe?
menu: any chance to have an option where you can select favorite programs, possibly override windows start menu??
friends: favorites would be very good, especially if you have a lot of friends
text: i selected sms chat as the sms program, but when i click on a text message it still brings up the usual messaging app from samsung
mail: im guessing this hasn't been implemented yet, but can't wait until it does ...
other:
-the sliding can it combined with the ability to click on the sub-menus to see that page? i.e. so you do not need to swipe twice to get from 'friends' to 'mail'
first to jaeskil...
yes i wil have kinetic for messages... but uits not working right now
wil_dee
you share my visions.....almost all of those things are planned implementations....
glad everyone likes lacuna.... its my favorite too
i really eager to know how the notification will be like in lacuna themes...also can u put the refresh button to message page....thanks...love ur themes...

for the notifications...
see the little blue rectangle in the top right....???
when a new text or email or event is up.... another blue rectangle will appear a little under the first one with words to the left of it.... saying "1 new message" or "1 new email" or whatever and when yo u click it it will take you to the throttle launcher page for the corresponding notification first ... rather then straight jump to the app of your choice.
kinda like this...
im not sure how to implement the refresh button but i will try...
lacuna lockscreen....
will look like this.
notification style for the lockscreen is undecided...
it will actually be the first page when the launcher shows up... this is so it can have the nice scroll effect...
Liking Lacuna keep it simple and you have a winner there
Did you make the changes we discussed to the FF clock images yet?
It looks like as mentioned in someone elses thread custom images are going to be needed for the date as well.
in your config the theme is still defined as switchblade as well - only checked to see if I got a mention
*edit* have now taken a look at both themes
the first thing that needs to be done is an editable and selectable wallpaper option to be inserted into both, now on to specifics
Freedom Fone does appear to be roughly where we left it, I have tried several ways and cannot figure out how to get the image for contacts to appear next to the messages. Otherwise it is a good solid clean theme which just needs the little touches mentioned above.
Lacuna (where did the name come from?) is NICE sooo simple and clean, congrats. The only thing I have found so far is the text page and most likely the mail page can be moved around when pressing on a message, I think this is due to the frame for the messages being larger than the text size illustrated by the fact that characters are being lost off the right hand side.
On the negative, I dont think the bottom right button fits the rest of the theme and I think you should look to develop an alternative take on the taskbar. You have the graphical talent and now the xml experience to pull off something more original.
There are a few things I would do differently with this theme, perhaps I can have your permission to use the base to create my own take on it please

lol... but seriously... in Music a Lacuna is an extended silence in the piece.... and i keep thinking in my head if i had a commercial for this theme ... it would be a build up of classical symphony while a black background with fading words discribe things we look for in a simple theme.... and finally when the screen shows up and does some stuff a Lacuna is the only way of matching the visual appeal... with stunned silence..lol

the text page has been such a pain in the a$$ i only set scrolling mode to Paged cause in Kinetic it moves around so easily from left to right... i cant figure out why...

was actually hoping u could have a look at it for me...

What I meant by the wallpaper is to set something up in the config to allow users to specify a wallpaper for the theme, not sure how this will work for a page broken theme though but it will be fun to find out.
and thanks for letting me abuse it once i'm done

yeah that sounds fine...
cause i was thinking it would be cool to take a widescreen picture ... split it up into like 4 pieces and give each page xml the next piece... so it looks like the wallpaper scrolls....
good work=)
i m going to try them on my x1 to check if they run smoothly
looking forward to ur next works
If you are a Fan of the Lacuna theme...
checkout the second post for two new Lacuna Boot Screens...
one does a single loop.... the other loops forever...

isnt anyone interested...???

We are interested, and continuously we watch! Problems are noticed - we wait for progress!
Thanks for work!!!
lacuna lover
dear trekfan,
im so in love with lacuna. please continue developing it. its simplicity makes it special so stick to that. the scrolling wallpaper sounds great! i do agree with the posters above me regarding the improvements. also, it will be better if the link to the start menu can be customized to, let's say your favorite apps, or more pages. will love to test for more updates.
thanks!
